Material de Cuisine

 It's great fun to hang out in Paris's pastry supply area, 75001. The amusing kitchen gadgets/materials de cuisine are endless.

 Though you won't have to do thumbnails to get in.

 A.Simon is one of the top purveyors but you don't want to show up just as their closing their doors.

 Most bake supply shop are clustered around rue Montorgueil. Not the 'golden triangle' but maybe the 'panhandle triangle'.

 Mora is top drawer for pastry bakers but it was closed too.

 G.Detou was open.

 You want bleu macarons?
You want your macarons to smell of pineapple? You'll find aromas to scent your meringue shells.
Do you prefer to use liquid coloring or powdered? Some say the liquid changes your batter's consistency too much..

 Have you ever tasted macarons a l'ancienne? Old fashioned macarons are available at G.Detou.

 La Bovida is a higher-end supplier of kitchen equipment/materials de cuisine

 La Bovida has been doing it since 1921.

 E.Dehillerin is the classic & oldest Paris cuisine shop

 They have every size French whip under the sun - an essential to sucessful macaron making.

And pehaps every size duck too. Certainly the essential red checked towel if you want to look dashing in the kitchen.

Bear wants to look dashing when he becomes a Parisien cafe waiter. You can find that gear as well nearby on rue Saint Etienne.

Feathered Friends

Feathered Friends..., watercolor on paper An older watercolor of Piu Piu... I saw birds and other animals all over Paris in the windows...
A sweet little birdie holding onto a bit of lace.

...a bit of lace undies. Finally a naughty picture at Paris Breakfasts!

This proud bird resides in the copper pot department at E. Dehillerin - the best Parisien professional kitchen supply house at 20, rue Coquillière, 75001.

A lucky duck at Dihillerin, this one in the window. Don't you love the jaunty red chef's neckerchief he's sporting..?

This wonderful sign on rue Montorgueil...

These two Magpies stopped me in my tracks at this left bank shop window! I did see a pair of giant black Ravens early one morning on Boulevard St. Germain. They were on the street, not in any shop window. Looking for a Paris breakfast croissant I guess...
